第一节：阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。
Having a good memory is the key to learning effectively.But if it’s hard to remember information even after 　 21 　 the notes again and again，perhaps you’re not studying in the best way.
While there are many methods to remember things better，the most effective method is making meaningful connections 　 22 　 pieces of information.This idea is the Baker/baker paradox (悖论) .In an experiment，researchers 　 23 　 people into two groups and showed a photo of a man’s face.One group knew the man’s name 　 24 　 Baker，while the other group knew the man worked as a baker.A few days later，the researchers asked both groups about the man’s identity.The results were 　 25 　.People remembered the man’s job 　 26 　 than his name，even though both words were the same.Do you know
　 27 　 this happened
Here’s the reason： when you hear that someone works as 　 28 　 baker，your mind connects this fact to a network of meaningful ideas.You might picture someone baking food or wearing a tall white hat.These connections create a story in your brain，making the information easier 　 29 　.
However，the name “Baker” doesn’t form the same kind of meaningful connections.It’s only linked to the man’s face，which is a weak connection.If you forget the face，you may also forget the name completely.
The Baker/baker paradox shows that memory works best when new information is connected with meaningful stories or 　 30 　.

(　　) 25.A.surprise B.surprising C.surprised D.surprises
(　　) 26.A.easily B.more easily C.most easily D.the most easily
(　　) 27.A.why B.which C.whether D.what
(　　) 28.A.a B.an C.some D./
(　　) 29.A.recall B.recalling C.recalls D.to recall

Eighty-year-old Li Xinsheng clearly remembers the day when her husband was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症).“It was March 4，2019，” she says.“We ate fish at a restaurant，and he 　 31 　 taking some to go.When we got home 15 minutes later，he asked me what was in the takeout box and where I got it.When I told him，he looked blank (茫然的) and said he couldn’t even 　 32 　 the simple thing.I was shocked.I realized it was a symptom (症状) of an illness rather than the common memory loss.The next day，I took him to the hospital for testing.He was diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.” She says it’s lucky that she acted quickly and took her husband to the hospital right away.She wasn’t used to her husband’s illness at first—he would even 　 33 　 the order of daily tasks like brushing teeth and washing his face.So 　 34 　 filled her inner heart at that time.
But now，she’s learned to take care of 　 35 　 so that her husband has someone to depend on.“I have to live 　 36 　 and do things that make me happy.　 37 　 as time goes by，I would become ill too.I’m actually very lonely because I can’t have a proper conversation with him.As a result，I took up drawing and writing to look on the bright side，” she says.
Recently，the couple took part in a(n) 　 38 　 dance-therapy (治疗) programme，Time to Dance.The programme 　 39 　 dance classes to people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers.It has done something very meaningful.At the same time，it has brought 　 40 　 to people with Alzheimer’s disease，who are often left，unnoticed and forgotten in a corner.

IV.阅读理解(共15小题，计20分)
第一节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。(共5小题，计5分)
Some people are very forgetful，while others can remember everything they have done.Scientists know a lot about how our brains store and remember facts and experiences.41._______ A new study looks at forgetting.A team of researchers from the US studied the brain’s process of forgetting things.The researchers are cognitive neuroscientists (认知神经科学家).42._______ On one hand，cognitive neuroscientists’ work may help people who have memory problems.43._______ The lead scientist Marie Banich said，“It may sound surprising that people can control what and how they forget.”
44.　 　 She also said it could keep the brain working smoothly.Her research found ways that people remove information from their brain.She said，“45._______” Removing information is important because it means we can focus on more important tasks.However，although we can control what and how we forget，the act of forgetting needs a lot of effort.” Another researcher，Sara Festini，agreed.She said，“We’ve found that intentionally forgetting no-longer-relevant information from the mind is beneficial，but it doesn’t happen automatically.”
第二节：阅读下面A、B、C三篇材料，从所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。(共10小题，计15分)
A
Four students have written these tips for the school newspaper about memory improving.
Henry A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind.For example，to remember the word “smiles”，we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter.This makes it the longest word in the world.
Sarah A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word.For example，if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”，you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants.”
Paul You will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well.For example，you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle.However，it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.
Kate It is important to exercise your brain.For example，you can do new things and change your daily habits.If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus，you will keep your brain active.You can also try a word puzzle (字谜) or learn new skills.
(　　) 46.The four students have written these tips for 　 　.

(　　) 47.Who suggests remembering something by imagining a picture of it

①The biggest weakness of human nature is that we don’t know how to treasure what we have.This is exactly the reason why we always think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.Instead of paying attention to modern-day problems，we should be grateful for what we have and who we are.
②Last week，my washing machine stopped working and wouldn’t wash my clothes.I tried to fix it by searching online，but the repairs were too expensive.This week，my daughter’s older washing machine also broke down.I tried to fix it myself，but it was beyond repair.Unluckily，I had to buy two new machines.
③But then，a memory from my childhood came back.I remembered watching my grandma use an old-fashioned washing machine to wash my dirty clothes.This machine didn’t have a spin cycle，so Grandma would squeeze out every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers.Once，I even caught my fingers in them，which was very painful.After washing the clothes，Grandma would pat the machine lovingly before hanging them outside on the clothesline to dry.She grew up hand-washing clothes，so having a machine that did most of the work was a blessing to her.
④Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important.I have more luxuries (奢侈品) than my grandma，mom，and dad had when they were younger.It’s easy to get caught up in our own world，but remembering where we came from and how far we’ve come can help us appreciate what we have today.And who knows Maybe someday we’ll look back on these moments as the good old days too.We should take a moment to appreciate the little things in life，whether it’s a warm cup of tea or the sound of birds chirping in the morning.The simple things make life worth living.
(　　) 49.Why did the author fail to repair her washing machine
A.Because it was beyond repair.
B.Because she didn’t have the skills.
C.Because the repairs were too expensive.
D.Because her daughter didn’t want her to do it.
(　　) 50.What does the underlined word “squeeze” mean
A.Press. B.Touch.
C.Fix. D.Feel.
(　　) 51.What’s the RIGHT structure (结构) of the text
A. B.
C. D.
(　　) 52.What lesson did the author learn from her childhood memory
A.Pay attention to modern-day problems.
B.Appreciate what we have today.
C.Dream of having more luxuries.
D.Try to make life worth recalling.
C
How is your memory Remembering things is an important job of our brain.If we can’t recall how to do anything，we can’t survive.Memory allows the brain to store and retrieve (检索) information when required.Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time，while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited (无限的) amount of information for a long time.Our memory is amazing，but why do we still forget things
It’s possible that we don’t always store information in our memory effectively，maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant (不相关的).When we store information，we often make connections with other things，which helps us recall it later.If you don’t have these connections，then it can be easier to forget.Writing for the BBC Science Focus magazine，Luis Villazon says，“It is also possible that memories decay (衰退) over time.As they have not been revisited，their biological ‘trace’ becomes weak.” It’s true that if you don’t perform a task for a long time，it can be difficult to recall how to do it.But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down.Have you ever gone into a room to get something only to forget what you wanted when you got there This is called “The Doorway Effect”.Writing for the BBC Future website，Tom Stafford explains that this occurs because we change both the physical and mental (精神的) environments，moving to a different room and thinking about different things.
So，if you always forget things，it could be because you have too much in your mind.But we need to keep our memory clear by continually using it.
(　　) 53.What is the function (作用) of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph
A.Explaining an question.
B.Expressing strong feelings.
C.Leading into the following text.
D.Giving the main idea of the first paragraph.
(　　) 54.Which of the following can be called “The Doorway Effect”
A.You forget what you have learned in your middle school.
B.You forget how to drive a car after not driving for years.
C.You forget some of your classmates’ names after graduation.
D.You forget something to buy when you get to the supermarket.
(　　) 55.How can you remember English words better according to the text
A.Write the words on the paper.
B.Memorize words by repeating them a few times.
C.Connect words to other things and often use them.
D.Memorize all the words in a day and never use them again.
V.完成句子：根据所给汉语意思，用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。(共5小题，计10分)

Lily had always prided herself on her good memory.As a 15-year-old champion of the quiz team，she could recall historical dates and chemical formulas (公式) easily.That was until the morning of her grandmother’s 70th birthday party.
When Lily arrived at the party，she noticed a strange thing in her mind.She couldn’t remember her favourite childhood story—the one about how Grandma taught her to bake mooncakes.Worse，she kept forgetting names mid-conversation.“My memory is disappearing，” she whispered to her best friend Mei，holding the gift box she’d decorated three times already.
Mei suggested they visit Dr Chen，a neuroscientist (神经科学家) who lived nearby.After a series of tests，the doctor told the truth： Lily’s memory loss was temporary(临时的).“You’ve been under extreme stress，” he explained，showing brain scan images.“Your brain is overworked from exams and competitions.The solution was surprising—rest and storytelling.”
That evening，Grandma began sharing old family tales.As Lily listened to the familiar rhythm of her voice，fragments of memory returned like puzzle pieces snapping into place.By midnight，she could finally recall the secret thing in mooncakes.
The experience changed Lily’s idea.She realized memory wasn’t just about facts—it was about connections.Now she keeps a memory journal，writing down not only important things，but also the feelings and smells that make them unforgettable.
71.When did Lily start noticing her memory problems
On the morning of __________________________________________.

First, exercise your brain. You can change your daily habits to keep your brain active. Try to learn new skills. Second, live a healthy life. Eat healthy food like fresh vegetables and fruit. Don’t eat junk food. You must get enough sleep, which is helpful to keep a good memory. Third, use good memory methods such as imagining pictures in your mind, taking notes, and keeping a diary. Also, you can try to relax and reduce stress. Stress can affect your memory.
Look forward to your reply soon.
Yours,
Li Min
